Are you an Adult Survivor of Childhood Abuse? Do you have feelings of guilt or shame about what happened to you? Do you think you should have done something to stop the abuse? Perhaps you may still experience overwhelming feelings of anger or rage which lie buried deep inside you even decades after these traumatic events took place. All of these thoughts and feelings are common amongst survivors of abuse. It can be really distressing to realise that perhaps the wounds of years ago may still be getting in the way of you experiencing fulfilling relationships with others right now. How do you move forward? I can help you.

There are four groups that I especially work with: a) students and academics (due to my own extensive academic background), who want to tackle problems that often beleaguer them in their personal (e.g. relationship issues) and professional lives (e.g. perfectionism); b) professionals who are either tackling personal/career problems and/or wishing to engage in self-development; 3) Couples; 4) Clients from an LGBTQ+ background who want a safe space to talk about what is troubling them and to find possible solutions. With all clients I work in an eclectic (pluralistic) way.

I assume you have something you would like to talk privately to somebody about. I wonder what it is like to be you. Do you often feel alien, struggling to understand and be understood by others? Is finding friends and keeping them hard? Would you rather avoid groups whilst wanting to belong? Does change hit you hard? Do you feel distant from others and even yourself? And maybe answering seemingly simple questions, such as “how are you?” or “what do you need?” feels difficult. I have some idea of what that is like. I offer you acceptance within a non-judgemental, empathic therapeutic relationship.

Having been employed for the last 6 years as a university counsellor, initially in England and then in Scotland, I have worked with the wide range of issues that can be a struggle for students. I have been able to provide a space where someone can feel safe to explore their story and begin to build the self belief they will need in order to flourish. I became interested in therapy through volunteering for a national bereavement charity for about 6 years. For the last 18 months of that time I worked exclusively with those who had been bereaved by a loved one taking their own life.

You may be the "affected person", or they could be your partner, child, a relative, or a work colleague. My “approach" is entirely Person-centred. I find this well suited for both couples and Autism. It strives to understand the client and their inner world and doesn’t tell what to do!

Male Counsellors

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?

There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?

Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?

Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?

Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
